Turks and Caicos Islands: 5 Day Forecast

Ahoy from Mudjin Harbour in Middle Caicos, Boaby Rock Point in Grand Turk, and Grace Bay in Providenciales. Today at Mudjin Harbour the sun rises at 6:28 AM, sets at 7:15 PM, and the moon be 69% lit; with clouds staying light into the evening, it may be a fair night for stargazing. Just after sunset, look low to the western sky for bright Venus if the horizon stays clear.

Friday: Across the islands, the morning starts warm near 84 F with humidity in the upper 70s to low 80s, feeling like 91 to 95 F. Winds blow mostly E to SE at 15 to 20 MPH, strongest at Boaby Rock Point and Grace Bay, with waves mostly 3 to 5 feet, so nearshore beaches look friendlier than the more exposed passages. Skies stay mostly sunny to lightly clouded, with only a stray light sprinkle overnight fading away by breakfast. By midday and through the afternoon, Mudjin Harbour turns hottest at 85 to 87 F and with humidity around 73 to 75 it will feel like 94 to 99 F, while Grand Turk and Grace Bay hold steadier near 84 F. Rain stays out of the way, clouds stay very low, and dinner time looks pleasant with east winds around 14 to 17 MPH, temperatures near 84 to 86 F, and waves easing a touch at Grace Bay. Biggest difference today: Mudjin Harbour runs hotter than the other two spots, while Boaby Rock Point stays the breeziest with the roughest water.

Saturday: Early hours stay warm near 84 F at all three locations with humidity around 77 to 81, feeling like 92 to 94 F. Morning boating improves a bit with waves mainly 3 feet at Grace Bay and Boaby Rock Point and 3 to 4 feet at Mudjin Harbour, while easterly winds ease slightly to around 12 to 18 MPH. Through midday and afternoon, cloud cover builds notably, especially at Grand Turk and Grace Bay, and scattered light showers drift in. Mudjin Harbour still turns the hottest at 85 to 87 F and with humidity in the mid 70s it will feel like 95 to 99 F, while Grand Turk and Grace Bay stay closer to 84 F and feel like 92 to 93 F. Around dinner time, skies are much cloudier in Grand Turk and Grace Bay with light showers nearby, but seas there hold around 2 to 3 feet at Grace Bay and 3 feet at Grand Turk, still manageable for many boaters. Biggest difference tomorrow: Mudjin Harbour is clearly the hottest, while Grace Bay looks to have the smallest late day waves.
